Media encoder not auto opening and converting when I export avide/media file from Animate

[frankf28838512]

Hi everyone--Frank Here--long time Flash and Animate user

I wasn't using Animate for a while--just updated to 2022

Media encoder is not auto opening when I export avide/media file from Animate lke it used to.

Now I have to clode Media Encoder--export the media/video file, then open Media Encovder--then it will auto open and convert to an mpg.

if I leave media Encovder open--when i go to export video.media in Animate--the "export media" window won't open--I have to clode Media Encovder again--this used to be automatic--can anyone help? thnks--Frank

open ame and then export your video to a fixed drive.

hi--I'm exporting to an ecternal drive--I believe it s a fixed drive

[kglad]

don't export to an external drive.

Mac or windows? If it's mac, you have to go to your preference and allow adobe animate and media coder to talk to each other. I know its a pain but it is a security thing mac does. I believe it's under security and privacy under automation. It says allow apps below to control other apps.

I'm on a mac--I cant find "allow apps below to control other apps" under automation--I'm using 10.15.7--only because I have a cintiq- (older model) that wont wotk if I upgrade further--I'll looka round for it--I clicked a few other things to allow adobe animate more access--will see if it works

thanks

I had media Encover 2022 and 2023 instaled--I uninstalled 2022 and it seems to be working--At least--If I have media encovder opened--it automatically converts like before--I'll have to try and see if it open media encoder automatically if it's closed--Ok I think problem fixed--than ks so much--F

Have you tried just to open media Encoder and then export from animate?

(@Nicktendo28 see first response to op.)

[frankf28838512]

yeah--it seems to wotk once media encoder is open.

that was the first thing suggested: "open ame and then export your video to a fixed drive."

[Nicktendo28]

Ok. That's what I do to get it to work for me. It's got to be a bug. I can't get it to auto-open for me either. So I guess opening Adobe encoder before you export will be the workaround.
